摘要：Qa≠ytba≠y was renowned for being a great traveler, who in spite of his advanced age spent a great part of his time traveling and sight-seeing both within and outside of Egypt. Among his travels were a visit to Jerusalem and the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. As he was also a great builder and sponsor of religious and philanthropic foundations, Qa≠ytba≠y used his tours to inspect construction works everywhere and to articulate his own ideas about architecture. In the following pages the design of Qa≠ytba≠y's madrasah in Medina will be discussed, with reference to his madrasahs in Jerusalem and Mecca, in order to demonstrate the Sultan's role in the articulation of what may be understood as the concept of h˝aram architecture.
